Working to help mothers of children under the age of 5
“Every year, 1.5 million children under five die from diarrhoeal diseases…” 1
Our WE Mums! program is run in collaboration with local clinics. Mother’s bring their children in to the under-five clinic for wellness visits and vaccinations. They are also given chlorine and soap (when available), and are taught:
- ways to prevent waterborne disease
- the importance of hand washing
- sanitation
- how to clean dirty water
- how to mix oral rehydration salts (ORS)
- signs of dehydration in children under the age of 5
